Welcome to the GWTW Forum.Guests (non-registered users) can view the forum but are unable to post. If you don't have anything to say then why would you bother to register?One of the most popular sections of the GWTW Forum has long been the Swap Meet. A great place to sell old, seldom flown kites or to get great deals on used (gently flown) kites. Only registered users can see the Swap Meet section, let alone wheel and deal. 1000's (literally) of kites have changed hands thanks to the Swap Meet.There are several more benefits to being a registered user, but you'll have to join our little community to find out all the "secrets".Questions or concerns?

It still looks just as scary in the pictures as it does on my livingroom floor, I had to turn it over so I coundn't see the bridle anymore!

Did you look at the link I sent?It should help. If you're still scared I'll send you my address and you can mail it to me. I do want you to live in fear.

Yes I did look at those instructions, I'm not sure what they mean about tie tow loop to any bungee, but thief did mention using a pigtail on the tow loop which makes more sense when it comes to tying. If I have some old shipping boxes laying artound I just might have your address.

Thanks for the video. I always wanted to know how to do the daisy chain.

Might practice it on a bit of line, yarn, rope, or an electric extension cord before tackling a multi line bridle. I've mentioned it before but find someplace on the kite you can larkshead that pigtail to. A tail attachment loop is ideal. As long as there are no loose line ends to work around and tie knots while stored and transported you will never have a tangled bridle when you want to fly it.

I can't look at that video! The picture scares me! If you go out in the wood tonight! I'm 61 years old, if I lived that long without a daisy chain, I guess I can live another 61 years without out it! Out of what I have in the picture I don't know what the right string/place to grab and pull, my track record isn't too good as to which wire to cut! KABOOM! like my first dual line and my first quad line. spaghetti in honey! uncle!uncle!

Here's an update, I just undid the daisy chain! Now I'll take it out for a test ride. Luckily I can just bring it back in and place it on the floor until I learn Daisy Chaining, but tying the pigtail seems to work ok for me.

There is a SLK phenomen called the pendulum effect. The shorter the line you have out the more the kite sways side to side. The bigger the kite the bigger the swing/sway. Let more line out or longline launch it.
